Culture wars are instigated by the left, not the right. Cant you get anything right?
The culture wars always existed. There are people who want freedom and autonomy (progressives / liberals) and people who want to force their orthodox values onto others (right-wing conservatives), while living and behaving contrary the religion that supposedly inspired those values.
Right-wing conservativism was summed up by scholar and Kremlin fascist, Aleksandr Dugin, as being driven by culture wars, which are tools of the fascism to bring down liberal democracy. The goal being one culture (right-wing), one media voice (right-wing), one religion (Orthodox Christianity), and a lack of individuality outside of these boundaries. Which aligns pretty well with the overarching agenda of America's right-wing. Whereas progressives want to live and let live (read: we literally don't care about how you live), conservatives want to control women, punish gays, and marry state and religion under the Christian banner.
Covid-19 Is the Crisis Radical ‘Traditionalists’ Have Been Waiting For
Steve Bannon, Putin protégé Alexandr Dugin, and other high-profile right-wing operatives are all adherents to this obscure yet powerful ideology.
